Header fitment”HELP”

Putting in a set of Doug's 2" regular exit headers and am having HUGE trouble getting them to fit. They are in the way and can't get the motor all the way in before Dr.side header gets in a bind.

I am more or less just venting but if anyone has experience with these headers in a 65 Dodge Coronet w/a 440/727

Man sometimes I think it would be easier to take a sharp stick in the eye than work on this car. Every nut and bolt has been a pain. The weather is getting nice so I am feeling the preasure to get the car done. To much money in it to stop now so you will have to listen to my whinning for a little longer.
